Today was my scheduled squat day and I pussed out. I would have made sure you got that 405.

Thanks!

I'll warn you the next time I try and crank out some heavy squats

I feel you on that beat up feeling. I get too caught up chasing PRs all the time forgetting that I can't go 110% all the time. Back off, recover, and blast past that 405.

Your right! Next week I'll finish things off with a bang and then some rest

Agree with the above about a deload. I sometimes hit that wall that tells me it's time to take a lighter week. I often have a hard time doing that and will just take most of the week off completely.

Merk, I don't know how you can go from heavy squats to heavy bench. The squats would eat me alive. Great job in here bro.

Thanks so much!

Trust me going from squats to bench and trying to kill both is a real bitch, but I do what I can!

Today was one of my better days in the gym (as of late at least). Though I didn't complete the workout in all it's entirety I still felt a sense of satisfaction leaving the gym. I can honestly tell you I have never rack dead'd (or rack pulled) that much....ever, not even close! Also that is the most I have ever military pressed, my previous best was 175.... I suppose my chins are a PR as well. 2 sets of 15 chin ups at 212 isn't the easiest thing in the world, and rest assured it wasn't these half assed, crossfit flailing, partial, chins. But rather full ROM, minimal body english, chins......brutal!

I did manage to tear some skin off the middle my hand from those rack pulls...worst place ever. It's like popping a blister on your heel or ankle, burns like shit and it sucks hitting it....which is all the damned time! A nice souvenir for a job well done

Weather is nice, time for some patio drinks!

Cheers!

No gym today, barely slept last night and dealt with a nasty IBS flare up this morning. Made for a real manic Monday I can tell ya.

Also the Mrs and I have booked flights to Orlando, FL for the beginning of June, woo! March 31rst to June 7th....So pumped!
